HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE

My mom is flying over from new york today for thanksgiving dinner! I'm so excited~! I wanted to share with you  what is on my menu for today!

First off, the turkey is always wanted but since its too big for us, we are having the nicely roasted chicken today!  The one from Ralphs.
Next up is my lovely homemade Mashed potatoes~!^^ This is what I'm really good at making, I don't know why. I guess I just love potatoes~
Baked Macaroni and Cheese~ Although this will be my first time cooking this, I am very determined to make this very yummy~
Steamed Vegetables~ You all need your greens with all of this yummy food. Although you may not veggies, it is good for your health, so eat up your carrots and broccoli!
For dessert, we were supposed to bake these lovely pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, but because my sister is going for the more traditional option, we are having Dutch apple pie, which is yummy too!
For our drinks during this wonderful evening, we are going to be sipping on Martinelli's Apple Cider! Yummy~
 That is my Thanksgiving menu for today~^^ What is yours?


Happy Thanksgiving<3

Yoon Eun Hye Inspired Makeup

Yoon Eun Hye is absolutely gorgeous and I adore her work. She is one of my favorite actresses apart from Lee Yo Won and Go Hyun Jung. She is very chic and professional and I love her style.

A little bit of history:  She is well known for her role in Coffee Prince and Goong as well as being a member of the 90's kpop girl group, Baby Vox.

 I love her looks so I decided to do a look that was based of the picture above. It's a very natural look with shimmery lids and bright cheeks and it was very simple to do.

Fun Fact: My dad was watching a drama that stared her and he came home and said I looked like her. Best compliment everrrrr^^

I hope you enjoy watching the tutorial~^^

Product Review: NYC Quick Dry Nail polish

OMGOSH~ I love these nail polishes~^^ So I bought this polish about a month or so ago and I love it. I have one color in Lincoln Square Lavender and I am in LOVE! Its very pigmented and one coat does the trick!
It is the polish on the right, obviously. Anyways, I love it already and the lasting power is amazing but that may just be because of my amazing top coat which is by Borghese^^ I love Borghese Nail products~ but thats for another blog post! so I will be getting more of these polishes soon and I will leave you with a picture of this on my nails~^^
That is ONE COAT~! ONE COAT~! Aren't you all amazed~! I must applaud NYC for their new nail polish formulas~^^ Much better!
